Frequently Asked Questions

When is my baby ready to begin learning how to sleep?

Each baby is different. In order to determine if its the right time for you and your baby to begin Sarah's sleep approach we need to know more about your situation. Fill out an intake form and record your baby's current behavior and routine for Sarah to assess.

What are the expected results?

Depending on age your child will sleep 12 to 13 hours a night. Sarah creates reliable rhythms for you, your baby, and your entire family. Such rhythms strengthen family relationships, aid your baby's physical health, and help your baby's developmental growth. This philosophy will also give your family the freedom to be more flexible and it can be conducted anywhere, which is especially helpful if you're a frequent traveler.

How will your family benefit from this approach?

The changes in routine and outlook that will result from Sarah's teachings will effect your entire family for the better. You and your partner receive instantaneous stress-relief by learning strategies that really work. Your baby receives early harmony-creating structure that will bring benefits for years to come. Your baby's grandparents, siblings, and caregivers also benefit. The approach creates time for your other children to spend time with you and also encourages your other little ones to develop a relationship with baby.

What misconceptions do people have about infant sleep?

One of the common misconceptions is that you should let your baby "cry it out" until it eventually falls asleep. Many of the parents who have tried this approach (and others) are the very ones who come to Sarah with their still sleepless (but still wailing) babies. Sarah approaches the issue from a different perspective altogether. Getting your baby to sleep peacefully isn't just about regulating its sleep routine. It is about learning how to be in tune with your child's external world and helping it to match his or her internal world. This can be achieved through a wide range of parenting styles. So whether your baby is breastfed or bottle fed, whether your baby sleeps in your bed or in a crib, whether you attend to your baby the moment she cries or whether you let her "cry it out," Sarah can help you reach a practical, respectful solution that is in line with your personal parenting style.
